§ Mr. Leightonasked the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he will circulate in the Official Report a table showing the annual amount consumed in the United Kingdom of each of the commodities subject to a levy under the common agricultural policy plus the additional amount which consumers will have to pay in a full year if current prices rise by the full amount permitted by the 5 per cent. reduction in the value of the green pound.
§ Mr. Buchanan-SmithThe amounts of CAP commodities subject to levy consumed in the United Kingdom in 1978 491W were given in my answers to a question from the hon. Member on 14 January. Our estimates of the effects on consumer prices of the last devaluation of the green pound are close to those given, for a devaluation of the same size, by my right hon. Friend's predecessor on 21 February 1979.—[Vol. 976, c. 678.]
